He served as the Commissioner for the Bureau of Indian Affairs during the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration from 1933 to 1945. Collier worked tirelessly to promote policies that respected Native American cultures, traditions, and sovereignty. His efforts aimed to improve living conditions, education, and land rights for indigenous communities. His tenure as Commissioner left a lasting impact on Native American policy and administration.
